Chapter 692: Hun, Evolve!
Chapter 692: Hun, Evolve!
After celebrating the establishment of the Xiaoshi Research Institute, Shizuru, along with Little Tree and Gogoat, turned to leave.
Before departing, he glanced back and caught a glimpse of Dr. Orlin and Dr. Forest walking into the institute with Paipa.
They looked like any ordinary family, with respectful parents and an understanding child, returning home together after work to enjoy dinner.
Shizuru thought to himself, "At least they haven't changed everything."
Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Union Calendar 210.
This year, Shizuru was 32, Little Tree was 8, and Yuki was turning 3.
"Sister, wait for me!"
In the farm, a 3-year-old boy with black hair and eyes clumsily chased after a girl running ahead, holding a Totten Turtle.
"Yuki, you two are too slow!" Little Tree laughed, "At this speed, you'll never catch up to us!"
Little Yuki stumbled over a stone on the path and fell with a thud.
He looked at his red, wounded knee, and a layer of tears welled up in his large eyes.
"Bogo..."
The small Totten Turtle looked worried.
Hearing the sound, Little Tree turned around and seeing this, rushed back.
Yuki pouted, sniffling as he complained, "Sister, you're mean!"
Little Tree scratched her head in embarrassment, "Oh dear, I'm sorry! It's my fault, sister, I'll heal you right now!"
Little Tree took out a blue-orange fruit from her pocket, crushed it, and applied the juice to Yuki's knee.
The next second, the wound on his knee began to heal at a visible rate.
"It's all better now!" Little Tree smiled at her teary-eyed brother, "Let's go, sister will continue teaching you about Pokemon battles!"
Hearing about Pokemon battles, Yuki's attention was instantly captured.
Forgetting the lingering pain in his leg, he nodded eagerly, "Yeah!"
On the grass, Yandi, Kaminari, and Suijin looked at the brother and sister before them with loving eyes.
Even after existing for so many years, they couldn't help but feel emotional at this scene.
Time had passed so quickly! In the blink of an eye, both Little Tree and Yuki had grown up so much.
The siblings got along harmoniously on the farm, alleviating any concerns their parents might have.
Meanwhile, in the living room, Shizuru and Ki Shu were hosting a teacher from the kindergarten who had come for a home visit.
"Hello, Mr. Shizuru, we're here to discuss your daughter's performance at school," the female teacher said politely.
Shizuru was slightly taken aback, "Has Little Tree been making other children cry at school again?"
The female teacher paused, then laughed, "Of course not, Little Tree is a very well-behaved child."
"The purpose of this home visit is to inform you about Little Tree's current situation."
"Little Tree is the most talented child we've encountered since the establishment of our kindergarten. To be honest, our kindergarten can no longer provide her with any academic support."
"As early as a week ago, your daughter had already mastered all the kindergarten's curriculum and demonstrated exceptional skills in training Pokemon."
"As you may know, Little Tree, with her own nurturing, evolved Minin Dragon into Hakuryu. Moreover, the strength of that Charmander has significantly improved compared to when she first entered the kindergarten."
"Currently, Little Tree, aside from not meeting the age requirement, is already a fully qualified elite Trainer."
Shizuru: "..."
His daughter was indeed a source of pride for her father!
Shizuru was aware of what the teacher had mentioned.
Little Tree possessed exceptional talent, both in her daily life and in training Pokemon.
Recently, she had used her own strength to evolve Minin Dragon into Hakuryu, greatly enhancing her power.
If this continued, it wouldn't be long before Hakuryu evolved into Swift Dragon.
"So, what you're saying is..." Shizuru sensed that the teacher had more to say.
"That's right!" The female teacher's eyes lit up with anticipation, "Paldea Academy has also learned about Little Tree's situation, and Principal Clarveil has agreed to make an exception and allow Little Tree to enroll early for advanced studies."
"Principal Clarveil?" Shizuru was taken aback.
Female Teacher: "Yes, he asked me to inform you that if you agree, he will personally come to invite Little Tree."
Hmm...
Little Tree was only eight years old, and she still had two years before she could become a formal Trainer.
If she started attending Paldea Academy at this age, their time together as parents would decrease.
As a father, Shizuru understood that as children grew older, the distance between them would also increase.
Out of his own concerns and worries about Little Tree attending school alone, Shizuru wasn't keen on her starting school at this age.
The Alluring Enchantress
How could he possibly keep Little Tree by his side just because of this? Mr. Naoki couldn't help but sigh, and after exchanging a glance with Strange Tree, he said, "Regarding this matter, we want to ask Little Tree's opinion first and then get back to you."
"No problem." The female teacher bid farewell, "I'll be waiting for your response at the kindergarten."
Mr. Naoki nodded, and after seeing the teacher off, they found Little Tree playing with her younger brother and a few Pokemon in the ranch.
"Little Tree, come here!"
"What's up, Dad?"
Little Tree immediately ran over with Yuki and several Pokemon.
"How's your learning at the kindergarten?" Mr. Naoki asked with a smile.
"Everything's fine!" Little Tree patted her chest confidently.
"That's impressive," Mr. Naoki said. "Just now, your teacher came to see us. She said that Paldea Academy heard about your performance and wants to enroll you early. If you're willing, you can start your studies at Paldea Academy from tomorrow."
"Paldea Academy?" Little Tree's eyes lit up. "Is that the academy with many powerful Pokemon trainers?"
"Yes, your teachers, Ni Mo, Xiao Qing, and Pai Pa all graduated from there," Mr. Naoki confirmed.
"Wow!" Little Tree agreed without hesitation. "I want to go!"
Mr. Naoki: "..."
This child doesn't seem to have any attachment to the ranch at all!
"But if you go, you won't be able to come home every day, and you won't be able to see Mom and Dad as often as you do now," Mr. Naoki reminded her.
Little Tree was very puzzled. "Why?"
"Because Paldea Academy is different from kindergarten," Mr. Naoki replied.
Paldea Academy's teaching model is quite unique; it differs from traditional courses.
In addition to theoretical courses, it includes extensive practical teaching, such as traveling to seek treasures, collecting gym badges, and more.
Once enrolled, Little Tree would not be able to return home every day as she does now.
"Then I can call Mom and Dad every day using my Rotom Phone!" Little Tree thought of a solution.
Mr. Naoki: "..."
He sighed, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll agree. Later, I'll contact Paldea Academy, and in a few days, someone will come to take you to school."
"Yay!" Little Tree was thrilled.
"Yay!" Yuki, not understanding why his sister was so excited, also shouted along.
"Hehe, Yuki, I'm going to battle even stronger trainers!" Little Tree exclaimed as she hugged her brother. "You stay home and eat well!"
Little Yuki, being too young, had no idea what his sister was talking about.
That afternoon, Mr. Naoki informed the female teacher at the kindergarten about Little Tree's choice.
Three days later, Clarveil, the current principal of Paldea Academy, arrived at the ranch.
"It's you!"
Upon seeing Mr. Naoki, Principal Clarveil was surprised.
He never expected Little Tree to be Mr. Naoki's child!
Mr. Naoki smiled faintly, "Yes, please take good care of Little Tree."
"No wonder... no wonder..." Principal Clarveil took a while to regain his composure. "I understand. In that case, I'll take care of everything for Little Tree!"
Mr. Naoki smiled and introduced him to Little Tree, "Little Tree, this is Principal Clarveil I mentioned before."
First, Charmander and Hakuryu were a must-have on the team.
Next were the Totten Turtles that Xiao Shu hadn't officially captured yet.
And, of course, the Three Emperors who had always been by Xiao Shu's side.
With this lineup, her parents wouldn't have to worry about her encountering any dangers during her journey.
And so, Xiao Shu set off on her own, accompanied by eight Pokemon, on her journey to further her studies at Paldea Academy.
Xiao Shu's departure left a void in the lives of Shizuru, Naoki, and the Pokemon at the farm.
Yuki, in particular, cried for several days searching for his sister, only calming down after Xiao Shu's nightly video calls.
The days at the farm without Xiao Shu seemed to drag on endlessly.
The couple secretly inquired about Paldea Academy and Xiao Shu's progress there.
However, neither of them intervened, as they knew this was a crucial trial for Xiao Shu.
Finally, after a month of Xiao Shu's absence, Shizuru received her good news.
The message included a selfie of Xiao Shu with Charmander and Hakuryu, and in her hand, she held a round badge adorned with a grass pattern.
[Xiao Shu: Dad, I defeated Mr. Kosa with Hakuryu, and we successfully obtained the Grass Badge!]
Shizuru was astonished.
Had Xiao Shu obtained her first badge so quickly?
And did the Paldea League allow children under ten years old to become Trainers?
In that instant, Shizuru recalled the nine-year-old Elite Four member, Popi.
"..."
Well, even if she wasn't ten yet, with Ya Ci's abilities, this wouldn't be an issue at all.
But what surprised Shizuru even more was yet to come.
Just ten days later, Xiao Shu had acquired her second badge, the Bug Badge.
[Xiao Shu: I passed the test at the Yuan Mo Gym and received the Bug Badge from Gym Leader Ah Feng! And Dad, I've found a new partner! From now on, it will travel with us!]
The message included a photo.
In the photo was a Pokemon with a determined gaze, its body engulfed in raging flames.
It was Charcoal Servant.
Looking at the photo, Shizuru felt both relieved and proud.
He couldn't help but turn to Naoki and exclaim, "Look, our daughter is truly exceptional!"
Naoki glanced at Xiao Shu's travel route.
"I have a feeling it won't be long before Xiao Shu reaches Lumiose City."
"Hahaha, how about we switch places?" Shizuru asked with a laugh.
He was curious to see how much Xiao Shu's strength had grown.
"Forget it! I'll personally test Xiao Shu myself!" Naoki chuckled, "Even though she's our daughter, I won't hold back!"
Shizuru: "..."
Half a month later, Xiao Shu indeed arrived in Lumiose City.
There, the mother and daughter engaged in an intense battle.
Since Xiao Shu had only collected two badges so far, Naoki didn't use her full strength.
Even so, Xiao Shu was thoroughly outclassed.
Shizuru watched the entire battle through Naoki's live stream.
The battle rules were 3v3, and Naoki sent out Electivire, Electrode, and Electabuzz.
Xiao Shu's team consisted of Charmander, Hakuryu, and the newly joined Charcoal Servant.
With her years of accumulated battle experience, Naoki easily defeated Charcoal Servant with Electivire.
Xiao Shu, however, used Hakuryu's speed to defeat Electivire, but unfortunately, Hakuryu lost to Electabuzz.
With just one Pokemon remaining, Naoki pushed Xiao Shu into a dire situation.
Facing this unprecedented crisis, Xiao Shu and Charmander seemed to resonate, and a terrifying fighting spirit ignited within Charmander, causing it to evolve into Hun during the battle.
Hun's scorching radiance illuminated the entire battlefield.
Under Xiao Shu's brilliant command, Hun single-handedly reversed the situation, defeating Naoki's remaining Pokemon and claiming the Electric Badge.
Shizuru, Gogoat, and the others watching the live stream couldn't help but applaud Xiao Shu's outstanding performance.
After eight years of studying Akala's notes, Adek's cultivation secrets, and with Shizuru's assistance, Hun's accumulated flame power reached its peak in this moment, undergoing a profound transformation.
Shizuru instantly recognized the extraordinary nature of this Hun.
Visible heat waves, fiery red particles surrounding Hun, and space distorted by extreme heat...
All these signs proved that this Hun was no ordinary Pokemon!
Its flame temperature and intensity had reached the pinnacle of what a Hun could achieve.
Its performance lived up to the name of the "Embodiment of the Sun"!
